Block designs consist of black and white blocks on grid paper, where black is considered the pattern block and white the background block. Through a Power Point presentation, find out how one weaver used the binary number system and the textures of 4-shaft huck lace to develop the definitive number of two-block designs, and how these simple designs become the building blocks of more elaborate patterns.
The design sessions allow weavers to construct and deconstruct complex patterns with component motifs from two different sets of Design Pages and Transparent Overlays, and how to use these designs in several 8-shaft weave structures.
